Pharmacotherapeutic group: OTHER LAXATIVES, ATC code: A06AX01.

Laxative for rectal use.

Glycerin suppositories cause rapid evacuation of the rectosigmoid by triggering the defecation reflex. Defecation occurs within 5 to 30 minutes after administration.

Glycerol stimulates peristaltic movements and decreases water reabsorption through its osmotic and hygroscopic properties. It also has a local irritant effect that contributes to the reflex defecation.

3 years.

No special requirements.
